I currently work in brand management at a fortune 500 but curious about going to a smaller company. If you've made this move, what are the biggest differences? Anything you wish you knew before making the transition?

A move to a smaller company, at the right time, can be a really great way to move your career forward. Id they are growing quickly, you can often grow with them

I personally love smaller companies but its not for everyone. Biggest differences-- more hands on, more work, smaller budgets. Biggest thing i miss is outsourcing to agencies. But I feel like i have a tighter knit team and I love the chaos of a small biz. Never bored, always a challenge.

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side. They paid INR 1.2 Crores for their logo to a "creative agency", just one of the many dodgy expenses they made including multiple so-called official trips to exotic locations like Hawaii. Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.
